Plot synopsis
The young and rich Parisian, marquis Octave de Granier (Mozzhukhin), comes to Nice for the carnival. He is a little tipsy after a party, and when returning home he finds on the threshold a foundling and adopts him. After returning to Paris, the marquis employs a nurse who appears to be the mother of the child, Yvonne (Lissenko). The aristocrat becomes attached to the boy, and then to his mother. The young people get married, but their happiness is impossible because of the appearance of Yvonne's husband, whom she thought dead.
